England's most capped men love rugby. Ben Youngs is a scrum-half so he’s spent most of his 127 games chatting away to team-mates, opposition and referees. His mate Dan Cole is still in the England squad, and has cult hero status thanks to his no-nonsense approach to most of life’s events.

Great show. Big fan of Coley and Ben’s takes on the game, tactics, plays etc. Also of course the accents, banter, guests on the show and taking the piss out of THE Freddie Burns in any way or shape possible.
From a South African, massive Springbok fan - I can recommend this.
